Best dress watch under 5,000$ ?
So I sold all my watches and decided to only keep two. My everyday watch, my SD43(which I LOVE). And I need your help choosing my 2nd watch. It can be any brand. As long as it's under 5,000$ Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hmm lot of good options.
SS Reverso would be appealing as previously mentioned. Older DJ with holes case on elegant leather is always a favorite of mine, TT always a good option. New DJ or OP for a dressy/sporty hybrid. If you want something new and affordable Nomos does some great dress watches for god prices. |

I would get a pre owned IWC Portuguese or Rolex Datejust 36mm.

I think the oyster perpetual 39 is perfect

Gold? Stainless? Strap? What have you looked at? What do you like?

Any of the OP's. Rhodium or blue, would be my choice of color.

+1 on the Reverso (if you can find one at that price, which I think you may be able to). That plus the Sea Dweller is an unimpeachable two watch collection.

I'm not a fan of the reverso. I just simply don't get it. Anyhow, I do really like the ultra thin Jaeger Lecoutre. The SS versions should be within the $5k mark.
I also really love the IWC Portuguese. I'm not a fan of any Cartier watch. It's not a traditional dress watch but the new DJ41 would make for a wonderful "suit" watch. The price is a little bit past budget, but the smooth bezel version preowned might be feasible. |

Actually don't care for that Seiko for other reasons as well, but a dress watch it's not.

This. Best looking dress watch Rolex ever made as far as I am concerned. Fluted bezel, no ugly cyclops and a beautiful leather strap.

Nomos has some nice choices. DJ, OP, vintage DD on strap.
Pre owned JLC MUT would probably be my choice. Might be pushing 5K, but saw a very nice condition silver dial for sale not long ago at 5700$.
